Here we are in 2021. I don’t have a lot to say yet. This year has already been tough and towards the end of the year last year I hit a few unexpected road blocks. My career could be changing and a new chapter of life starting. Stay tuned. I’ll be writing more soon enough.

I went to the National Brain Tumor Foundation presentation that I mentioned in an earlier post.  I was really looking forward to going.  Then while I was driving there I started getting emotional.  As much as I thought I have accepted this new life sometimes it feels like it has to be a bad dream.  […]

I saw a commercial for a documentary called Crazy Sexy Cancer. I have not seen the show on tv yet but I found a place online where you can watch part of it. The girl in the documentary said something that I could really relate to. “…cancer has been my guru…it’s my teacher and it […]
